Equipment

8x8 pan

Ingredients

1 container buttercream frosting 16 ounces
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
3/4 cup strawberry flavored pink candy melts
3/4 cup red candy melts
Sprinkles - Optional

Instructions

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
Start by adding your red and pink candy melts in separate containers that are microwave safe.
Begin to heat the red candy melts doing 20-30 second heat cycles, stirring between each heat cycle. Once melted set aside and repeat with the strawberry candy melts.
Then take the lid and aluminum seal off the frosting and heat for 45 seconds in the microwave.
Stir in the strawberry extract, and mix really well.
Pour half the frosting in the pink and half the frosting in the red. Stir well.
Pour the colored frostings in an 8x8 prepared pan, doing a little of each color to creates a swirl effect.
Top with sprinkles if you want, and then refrigerate the strawberry fudge for 2 hours or until it is hardened.

Notes

Frosting - You can use any flavor of frosting you want. Vanilla, cream cheese, etc. I loved the flavor of the buttercream.

Candy Melts - Go right ahead and swap out the candy melts for baking chocolate if you don't want to use a candy melt for this dessert. Temper the chocolate to ensure it sets up properly.

Sprinkles - Sprinkles are optional but they add a nice color to the frosting fudge. I used Valentine's Day themed since it is approaching.
